why is my dolce gusto not hot

When mine arrived it didn't work either. The water didn't get hot also. At the time I didn't have time to return it so I was out my money. I wouldn't recommend buying this to anyone.

For cappuccino's and latte's, one dolce gusto pod contains coffee & one pod contains dried milk. During the process, the milk gets frothed nicely. Do not add milk to the machine. I believe De'Longhi does have a machine to which you can add fresh milk.

I have the same issue with the crema. Would also like the answer. I know it's not that my grounds are too coarse.

Be sure that the butter holder part is dry. We had that happen once and my husband thought it might be because the room was hot.

was told by Dolce Gusto customer service that we should never leave water in the tank, in other words, just put enough water to brew coffee and then remove tank, empty it and replace. Mine's been taken away today and I won't be seeing it for nearly a month. Hope they can fix problem as I have a large stock of coffee that cost me a lot of money.

The K cups and all the brands made to fit in Keurig machines do not fit. They are too big. I don't know anything about Peets, but suspect they may be made to be like K cups. I've been told Nespresso cups are sompatible, but I have no personal knowledge of that. Since there are no stores near me that sell Dolce Gusto capsules, I wish there were others that fit. Of course I order them on-line, but sometimes it would be nice to be able to just pick up a box at a store!

More than likely your milk is not hot and cools off the espresso. I have had that problem too. You need to keep steaming for almost 2 mins to get it hot.

I think the coffee temperature is fine, no worse than other machines. My problem with it is Starbucks is not actively supporting the machine. The coffee packets are custom sizes exclusive to the Versimo machine, and not compatiable to the normal K cups, which Starbucks and many others support. Most Starbucks stores or Costco or supermarkets in our area do not even carry the coffee packets, making the machine virtually useless.Get a Kurieg Branded machine ...... You will be much better off.

to my knowledge, only the Dolce Gusto pods. And those were hard to find in the store.

The same thing happened to me. The ice cream mix must also be very cold. I always make custard which is cooked. It takes several hours to cool sufficiently - overnite is best. I love this machine but it is not a spur of the moment dessert. Hope this helps.

I tried to make creme patissiere in it and finally gave up. The silicon does not transfer heat sufficiently. It's a chocolate melting pan - and for that it is superb - but not adequate for fine sauces. You could try blender hollandaise instead.

Just stay away from the usual American blends and you'll be fine. I usually use Lavazza Roma or Prima Gusto but I heard Illy is even better. Lavazza Roma is a bit less intense compared to Gusto but its upto your taste requirements.

Absolutely! Dolce Gusto capsules are the ones designed for your Delongi machine. Enjoy !

I never took the chance to get the temperature. But it only gets the milk warm and not hot as opposed to using a steam wand. I returned this machine and got me the Gaggia classic. Can't beat fresh made coffee.

You should be using a thermometer to steam the milk. My bet is that you need to take the milk to a higher temperature to get the hot espresso you are seeking.

Thanks so much for all your suggestions. I have strengthened the seal and things seem to be much better. I love the richness of the flavour so I'm not sure that a higher heat is the answer for me!Thanks agin.

Maybe the chocolate that your using is too dense try to make it a little more liquid
